In Game 2, CNU received support at the plate from Felicia Price who knocked in 2 runs in a tough two-out situation with the bases loaded, giving the Captains some separation.  Also helping out the offensive attack were Mani, with a two-run single and Taylor Morgan, who added an RBI double and a two-hit day.
